An yet you feel able to call me "Wankstain" because I disagreed with your view of the world, well ain`t you a cleaver boy.

You are because you clearly have a total, base hatred of anything or anyone Israeli, and I suspect, Jews full stop. Whereas I don't hate Arabs and Palestinians. In fact I feel sorry for the latter as they've been abandoned by their Arab "brothers" and are led by people who put their energies into compounding their misery rather than relieving it.

Doesn't justify shooting a doctor though now would it?

No it isn't. It's born of knowledge of the situation and not harbouring pre-jusgements. The attitude that one side is wrong while the other is right is the ultimate "ignorance is bliss" attitude.
